When the teams left Tokyo on their 2nd leg of the Amazing Race, they were headed for Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam!  While at the airport, an interesting thing happened.  But first you need to understand that the two poker ladies had conceived an elaborate bluff in which they told their fellow contestants that they worked with homeless people in need.  They did this in order to garner support and sympathy from the rest of the crew they might not otherwise have if everyone knew the truth about their poker success.  However, fame does have its upsides and downsides as when they were in the airport looking for tickets to Vietnam, a poker fan picked them out of the crowd and came up looking for an autograph which they could not turn down.  The rest of the contestants watched as this episode unfolded and now know the truth behind the girls.  In all honesty, the rest of the contestants had already begun to call the girls shady.  An interesting bit though.  The globetrotters, Herbert “Big Easy” Lang and Nathaniel “Flight Time” Lofton were pulling no shots when it came to secure a ticket.  They used the Globetrotters name recognition to obtain their tickets over fellow contestants.

Once the teams arrived in Vietnam they had to deal with a fruit farm to get their first clue of the night.  Travel to the nearby fruit farm was via bus.  There were two busses which left over an hour apart.  The contestants finding themselves on the 2nd bus at first looked distressed but wound up buying out the remaining seats on the bus by banding together and getting the bus to leave earlier.  The task here was to “fertilize” a tree with what looked like mud.  The tree had a skirt around it with a red marker at the level the contestants had to fill with the mud.  This went well for the teams for the most part with the girls impressed with how sexy two women can be all mudded up.  The girls were running behind in this event due to their speed bump.  The girls had to serve a traditional Vietnamese soup called pho to the dock masters liking before he’d allow them to travel to the fruit farm. Maria had eaten and prepared this soup in her past so this was an ez task for the ladies.  Zev and Justin ran into a snag when Justin tripped and fell into the water near the fruit farm and lost his next clue.  The friends did not realize they had lost the clue until they were on the boat to the next destination and had to return for it. This did put them behind, but they were still ahead of Tiffany and Maria who had to deal with their speed bump.

The final event for the night was a duck race road block!  Teams had to heard 150 ducks across a narrow bridge then back again to the starting pen and close them all up inside their pen.  This proved to be quite the challenge for some and the LPM (laughs per minute) meter was sky rocketing.  Ericka had to be the best fun with all the trouble she was having.  She was getting so frustrated with her ducks by the end of the evening she had already decided that she was having duck for dinner that night!  Tiffany Michelle had been around ducks as a child and knew how to handle them so she was able to make up good time for her and Maria.  Once teams concluded this task they were to race to the Bassic River and find the Bassic III Riverboat.  The last team to arrive was Jessica and Garret due to Jessica’s extremely difficulties she had with the duck herding.  Jessica and Garret were the 2nd team eliminated from season 15 of The Amazing Race.
